Robbie Williams - Advertising Space Lyrics

There's no earthly way of knowing
What was in your heart
When it stopped going
The whole world shook
A storm was blowing through you

Waiting for God to stop this
And up to your neck in darkness
Everyone around you was corrupted
Say somethin' ........... .... ... .. .. . ? ???? ??

There's no dignity in death
To sell the world your last breath
They're still fighting over
Everything you left

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

And
No one learned from your mistakes
We let our profit s go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is Advertising space

Through your eyes
The world was burning
Please be gentle
I'm still learning
You seemed to say
As you kept turning up

They poisoned you with compromise
At what point did you realise
Everybody loves your lies
But you ahahh

Special agent for the man
Through watergate and vietnam
No one really gave a damn
Did you think the CIA did

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

And
No one learned from your mistake
We let our profits go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is Advertising space ooooohh

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

No one learned from your mistakes
We let our profits go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is Advertising space

I've seen your daughter
Man shes cute
I was scared but I wanted to
Boy she looks a lot like you



;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;  ;;;;;;;;




Take that.




And party.

The first time I heard 'Pocahontas' by Neil Young was when I was sleeping under the stars with a feather in my hair. The first time a song (as opposed to the memories which a song evoked) made me cry. Rust Never Sleeps remains my all time favourite album.

Pocahontas by Neil Young

Aurora borealis
The icy sky at night
Paddles cut the water
In a long and hurried flight
From the white man
to the fields of green
And the homeland
we've never seen.

They killed us in our tepee
And they cut our women down
They might have left some babies
Cryin' on the ground
But the firesticks
and the wagons come
And the night falls
on the setting sun.

They massacred the buffalo
Kitty corner from the bank
The taxis run across my feet
And my eyes have turned to blanks
In my little box
at the top of the stairs
With my Indian rug
and a pipe to share.

I wish a was a trapper
I would give thousand pelts
To sleep with Pocahontas
And find out how she felt
In the mornin'
on the fields of green
In the homeland
we've never seen.

And maybe Marlon Brando
Will be there by the fire
We'll sit and talk of Hollywood
And the good things there for hire
And the Astrodome
and the first tepee
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
Pocahontas.

Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy - The Winter of the Long Hot Summer Lyrics


It all seemed so idiotic all the accusations of unpatriotic

The fall we'll always remember, capitulating silence

election November before the winter

of the long hot summer

Somewhere in the desert

we raised the oil pressure

and waited for the weather

to get much better

for the new wind to blow in the storm

We tried to remember the history in the region

the French foreign legion, Imperialism,

Peter O'Toole and hate the Ayatollah

were all we learned in school

Not that we gave Hussein five billion

Not of our new bed partner the Syrian

and of course no mention of the Palestine situation

It was amazing how they steamrolled

They said eighty percent approval

but there was no one that I knew polled

No one had a reason for being in the Gulf

We waited for congress to speak up illegal build up

But no one would wake up

Our representatives were Milli Vanilli's

for corporate Dallas Cowboy Beverly Hillbillies

With perfect timing

the politicians rhyming their sentiments

so nicely oil gold and sand

my sediments precisely....

We regretfully support the lunacy

I'm afraid there is no time for more scrutiny

National unity preserve our community

Teflon© election opportunities

were in profundant abundance


On January second the Bush administration

announced a recession had stricken

the Nation the highest quarterly

earnings in ten years were posted

by Chevron©

Meanwhile a budget was placed in our hands

as the deadline in the sand came to an end

so much for the peace dividend

one billion a day is what we spent

and our grandchildren will pay for it 'til the end

When schools are unfunded

and kids don't get their diplomas

they get used for gun boat diplomacy

disproportionately

black or brown we see

bullet catchers for the slave master


Then the conservatives called up reservists

to active service left families nervous

but more importantly broke nine hundred a month

but the check came late, army red tape you see,

this golden opportunity

We watched the tube and read the newspaper

The propaganda of the gas masked raper

was the proper slander to whip up the hatred


The stage was lit and the lights were all faded

The pilots in night vision goggles Kuwaited and

generals masturbated

'til the fifteenth two days later they invaded

Not a single t.v. station expressed dissension or

hardly made mention to the censorship of information

from our kinder and gentler nation

blinder and mentaler retardation

DISORIENTATION

The pilots said their bombs lit Baghdad

like a Christmas tree

It was the Christian thing to do you see

they didn't mention any casualties

no distinction between the real

and the proxy

only football analogies


We saw the bomb hole

We watched the Super Bowl

We saw the scud missile

We watched Bud© commercials

We saw the yellow ribbons

Saw pilots in prison

We never saw films of the dead...at eleven

Angela Davis addressed the spectators

and shouting above a rumbling generator said

if they insist on bringing us down

then let's shut the whole country down

Marching through the downtown

A hundred thousand became participants

and we heard the drums of millions off in the distance

rushing through the cities

some of them did things that weren't so pretty

most were there for primal scream therapy

news men concentrated

on the negative liked the jingoists more

peaceful protesters ended up

on the cutting room floor

Nintendo© casualties of the ratings war

More bombs dropped than in World War II

on in both Asian invasions, new world order persuasion,

Business as usual

for our nation

Could you imagine a hundred fifty thousand dead,

the city of Stockton

coffins locked in when we clocked in...not to mention

civilians

The loss of life on both sides

pushed the limits of resilience

The scent of blood in our nostrils

fuel of the fossil land of apostle

The blackness that covered the sky was not the only thing

that brought a tear to the eye or

the taste of anger to the tongues

of those too young to remember Vietnam


Is heroin better in a veteran's mind

than the memory of the dying laying in a line

Is it the smell or the shadows heaving and weeping

that keeps the soldier from sleeping

as he sings the orphan's lullaby

When the soldiers put down their bayonets

the strings are chained to the marionettes

Emir of Kuwait gets back in his jet

we replace the dead with new cadets

will we hate those who did the shelling

or will we hate those who weren't willing to do the killing

when the leaders of the bald eagles come home to roost

will we sing a song of praise and indebtedness

for our deliverance from evil

or will we sing a song of sadness

for the dreaded debt this mess delivered us PEOPLE.



Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy - Television, The Drug Of The Nation Lyrics


One Nation under God
has turned into
One Nation under the influence
of one drug

Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation

T.V., I.T. satellite links
our United States of unconciousness
Apathetic therapeutic and extremely addictive
the methadone metronome pumping out
150 channels 24 hours a day
you can flip through all of them
and still there's nothing worth watching

T.V. is the reason why less than ten percent of our
Nation reads books daily
Why most people think Central America
means Kansas
Socialism means unamerican
and Apartheid is a new headache remedy

absorbed in it's world it's so hard to find us
It shapes our minds the most
maybe the mother of our Nation
should remind us
that we're sitting to close to. . .

Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation

T.V. is
the stomping ground for political candidates
Where bears in the woods
are chased by Grecian Formula'd
bald eagles

T.V. is mechanized politic's
remote control over the masses
co-sponsered by environmentally safe gases
watch for the PBS special

It's the perpetuation of the two party system
where image takes precedence over wisdom
Where sound bite politics are served to
the fastfood culture

Where straight teeth in your mouth
are more important than the words
that come out of it
Race baiting is the way to get selected
Willie Horton or
Will he not get elected on . . .

Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation

T.V. is it the reflector or the director?
Does it imitate us or do we imitate it
Because a child watches 1500 murders before he's
twelve years old and we wonder how we've created
a Jason generation that learns to laugh
rather than abhor the horror

T.V. is the place where
armchair generals and quarterbacks can
experience first hand
the excitement of video warfare
as the theme song is sung in the background

Sugar sweet sitcoms
that leave us with a bad actor taste while
pop stars metamorphosize into soda pop stars
You saw the video
You heard the soundtrack
Well now go buy the soft drink
Well, the only cola that I support
would be a union C.O.L.A. (Cost of Living Allownace)
On Television.

Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation

Back again, "New and Improved",
we return to our irregularly programmed schedule
hidden cleverly between heavy breasted
beer and car commericals

CNN ESPN ABC TNT but mostly B.S.
Where oxymoronic language like
"virtually spotless" "fresh frozen"
"light yet filling" and "military intelligence"
have become standard

T.V. is the place where phrases are redefined
like "recession" to "necessary downturn"
"crude oil" on a beach to "mousse"
"Civilian death" to "collateral damages"
and being killed by your own Army
is now called "friendly fire"

T.V. is the place where the pursuit
of happiness has become the pursuit of trivia
Where toothpaste and cars have become sex objects
Where imagination is sucked out of children
by a cathode ray nipple
T.V. is the only wet nurse
that would create a cripple

Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
On Television . . .
